Conversation #4

Tona of New Jersey via email asked:Tona: How did u come u with the different situations for Christopher? Was this on based on factual events from yourself? Hashim: Lol!!! No not at all I honestly don't think any one man can be as lucky with women as Christopher seems to have been. But his encounters are not so far fetched that they can't happen in real life. Christopher and his acts are all a figment of my over active imagination.

Tona: Ok, so u are telling me not none of these situations u havent been in.

Hashim: No not me, and if my mom is reading this I am still a virgin, and waiting until I am married. Lol No but seriously if we are talking about the different relationship senerios of course we all have had relationships that have gone wrong. I'm sure some of the situations Christopher has faced I can more than relate to. Tona: Never met u in person, but for some strange reason i can see u in some of these situations, u have a very vivid and explicit imagination in some parts of the book that really seem factual to some people. True, virgin yeah right lol, that's funny. Both books were very good and kept my interest.Hashim: Well thank you! I try to write a more true to life story something that people can easily relate to. My attempt is to put a story on paper that someone can read and say I know someone just like him or her. Thank you very much I am glad you enjoyed both books.

Tona: U are welcome, im a reader and i read all kinds of books, and sometimes i will get a book that doesnt keep my interest and this was not the case. When i first got Karma i finished it in a week and with TLC i think i finished it in about a week and a half i read it every where i went even took the books to read to work to read on my break.

Hashim: Well hearing that I was able to keep you interest even through work is very exciting. I love to write, but the only part that excites me more than actually writing the story is getting the feed back from the story from it's readers. So to read that my work was able to hold your interest the way it did is extremely pleasing to me.

Tona: Well u did exactly that. I have one more question.

Hashim: Please go ahead, I'm all ears!

Tona: Do u know anybody that portrays any of the characters in ur book?

Hashim: Are you asking are any of the characters real or modeled after anyone I know?Tona: Yes i was sorry if i wasnt clear on what i was trying to ask you.Hashim: Well to be totally honest all characters with the exception of one are all a figment of my imagination. There is only one person who can arguably be modeled after someone I know personally. But that is all I will say on that question. I will give a hint though this character appeared in both books. LOL Tona: ok, im thinking Christopher, but i know it was another person too that was in both books am i right? See now u going to have me read both books all over againbecause of your question.Hashim: Yes there was more than just Christopher Alexander to appear in both books. LOL

Tona: I know it was, it was a chick but i cant think of her name right now. Im going to analyze that question now until i get it right, because that's just me.Hashim: In that case I hope you enjoy reading them again. Can't wait to hear from you again once you figure it out. LOL!!! I hope I was able to answer all of your question. The pleasure of talking to you was all mine.Tona: You are very welcome it was a pleasure talking to you too. i am going to figure it out too give me a couple of days, it might be tonight. lol hashim conner: Thank you again for your questions!!!

First and foremost let me say that I enjoyed both "Karma" and "TLC". I found them both to be great interesting reads and I can not wait for "The Congregation" or "The Escort". I am really looking forward to "The Escort" because I can only imagine what type of antics Christopher will be up to. I am finding it hard to believe that Christopher is not an alter ego of extension of yourself Mr. Conner. The situations and scenarios seem to real to not be based on actual events, but I guess a man just knows how men work! lol! I hope that in "The Escort" Christopher finds the right one for him because I do believe deep down inside he wants more then sex for himself.

My Book Information

KARMA(Kar-ma - The sum of a person’s actions during the successive phases of his or her existence, regarded as determining his or her destiny in future incarnations.)Karma is all around us, affecting our everyday lives, we’re absorbed by it. It’s as real as the air we breathe, and the love we share. Just like the love we feel and the air we breathe it’s going on without being seen. No one is more affected by this than Christopher. After years of sexual escapades, breaking hearts, and in the end ruining good women over and over again, he thought that he had finally found “the one”. There was something different about her, she was special. So special in fact that instead of her being head over heels for him like so many others before her, it was the complete opposite. It was she that had him wide open, and in the end it would be him that would have to pick up the pieces of his broken heart, and find a way to go on. buy the book

THE LEARNING CURVEChristopher Alexander is back and out for revenge. After being hurt in an unimaginable way he’s out to make them pay. The only problem is he plans on making all of women pay for the decision of one woman.Author, Hashim Conner starts The Learning Curve exactly where Karma left off. Instead of attempting to put the pieces back together and heal, Christopher dives head first back into a life of sexual encounters turning his sex life into some kind of game with rules that only he’s privy to. Christopher runs from woman to woman, until he’s broadsided by Ariel who’s playing a game herself. With her indecisiveness she has an impossible task of choosing between Christopher and her ex who isn’t ready to let her go. Without much effort at all she has Christopher back in a position that he swore he would never be in again. From the classroom, to the bedroom, Christopher gives us a much deeper look into the exciting life he lives. buy the book

Author Review

"Hashim Conner is an author on the rise that has the ability to capture raw human emotion and translate it to the page.""Mr Conner gives readers a peek into the male psyche that we don't often see in modern fiction. We learn that not all men are dogs, but even when they are, they have emotions too."

Karma Book Review

As a woman scorned believes that “men are dogs”, Hashim Conner, the author of Karma, sets out to prove just that. While warned by both his mother and best female friend that what goes around comes around, Christopher Alexander, the book’s main character, refuses to take heed and sets out on a journey to get what he wants.

“I don’t lie to any of them; they all know exactly what they are getting into” is his motto and he sticks by it throughout the book. That is until karma comes around and bites him in the ass, turning his world upside down and sending him into a tailspin of even more spirited behavior.

Readers will be torn between loving Christopher’s quick wit and new street slang to gasping at his dangerously exciting “sex-capades” and wondering which woman will be the one that has him “dealt with”.

This book is not for the prude or sexually deprived as you’ll discover by page 6. Karma a great adult bedtime story-for you and your mate or at the end of a steamy first date-whatever the case it will have you acting out scenes before the next chapter ends.

Karma, with its many twist and turns, will leave you wondering how Conner came up with it all, as Christopher is always into something or someone.

As a newcomer to the urban literary scene, author Hashim Conner obviously has an imagination that’s kicked into high gear as he shows much promise of becoming a much loved and sought after author that leaves you wanting more.
